Mr. Keim -<br>
<br>
You fail to understand my reference to "UI's K-Mart Blue Light Special".<br>
<br>
It was a special deal specially arranged between Christ Church and UI<br>
Conferences and events.<br>
<br>
Are you gonna make me dig through my filing cabinets here at home to find,<br>

<br>
The specifics (itemized equipment and services provided to CC by UI)<br>
behind the contract are rather extensive. Suffice it to say that CC did<br>
NOT pay retail as you and I would.<br>
